Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Delivering therapies to the brain remains a major challenge due to the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier. In a ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point to a new way of treating nerve pain. When you purchase through links on our ...

Development of effective medications for central nervous system (CNS) disorders has long been plagued by a high failure rate in clinical trials. One ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
